Perry spoofs Sesame Street

Katy Perry's Saturday Night Live appearance poked fun at the recent Sesame Street controversy. Is she wise to poke fun at the situation?

Love her or hate her, you can't deny that Katy Perry has a pretty wicked sense of humor.

The California Girls singer appeared on the season opener of Saturday Night Live as the musical guest. In addition to her musical duties, Perry spoofed her recent Sesame Street controversy by acting in a SNL skit.

Perry wore a cleavage-baring top with Elmo's face on it, an obvious reference to her now-banned Sesame Street appearance. She filmed a kid-friendly version of her song Hot and Cold alongside Elmo on the children's show, but she was banned after parents complained about her low-cut costume.
